Hi! My name is Jessica and I have had a passion for caring for children since I was practically still a child myself. I enjoy working with children and their families because I believe the early years of a child’s life are a critical time, and if a strong and healthy foundation is built through the positive guidance, love and support of the adults who care for them, all children can be successful and happy, in school and beyond. Each child deserves to be given that opportunity, and I am grateful to have the chance to make that positive impact on every family I work with! Over the past several years I have provided full-time care for twin boys, one of which has special needs, from age 9 months to 6 years. I have also worked part-time with a family with one child while he was 4 to 8 years Read more old, and another family with twin girls from the time they were 6 months old. I have also earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a concentration in Early Childhood Development, and worked as a Preschool teacher for over 2 years now. Some fun facts about me: I enjoy arts and crafts, health/fitness, music/dancing, and cooking. I am also recently and very happily married to my amazing husband, and I love spending time with my family and friends. That being said, while I am caring for your children they will be my number one focus. Safety is my first concern, but I also strive to create a fun, comfortable and loving environment. I believe in the importance of getting to know each child's and family's specific needs and requests and adjusting my routine accordingly. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! If you think I could be a good fit for your family, I'd love to hear from you :)
